In OEC Trader Demo, when using an FX account, the cash balance doesn't update after closing a position. The same behavior exists when using the API.

Shouldn't the cash balance update after a position closes or is partially offset?

If not, when does the FX Cash Balance update?

Thanks,

Trades have to settle before the cash balance updates. There is daily maintenance at 5pm ET. At that time, the Net Liq value will become the Cash balance.
